Maxminddb library search tree corrupt

[RFreij]

laravel-geoip version: 1.1.0 Laravel version: 5.5

Hi,

We are currently experiencing a problem when updating the maxminddb library with the command geoip:update. When using the command the file seems to be corrupt, however when downloading the file directly from the maxmind server the file works.

We found out about this problem when we noticed content was visible that shouldn't have been visible for countries like Belgium.

We've been testing what could be wrong using a PC with Ubuntu installed and used the following command:

mmdblookup --file ./geoip.mmdb --ip 185.104.186.184

The error we got is:

Got an error from the maxminddb library: The MaxMind DB file's search tree is corrupt

Hello,

We also had this issue, it was resolved for us after we upgraded to Laravel 6.0. I'm not sure if the Laravel update itself fixed the issue. Just leaving it here as a possible solution.

Hi guys, My problem disappeared. I just update all packages with composer update, now Laravel 5.8.37 is running.

Like @michaelanting said it appears to be working again after updating to Laravel 6.0. @edtsz good to hear updating to the latest patch of 5.8 is working too :)

I'll close this issue for now, hope it doesn't happen again.
